Tidal Disruption Events: From Accretion and Outflow to Emissions

Explore a 30-minute conference talk on tidal disruption events (TDEs) presented by Jane Dai from the University of Hong Kong. Delve into the complex processes of accretion, outflow, and emissions associated with TDEs, which occur when stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes. Recorded as part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation offers insights into galactic nuclei and central black hole properties. Gain understanding of the theoretical uncertainties in TDE modeling and their impact on observational interpretations. Learn about the connections between TDEs and related phenomena such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries. Discover recent advances in TDE research and explore outstanding questions in the field of TDE theory and observation.
